In this tutorial some first basics on the use of the interactive synthesis features in the kinematics software ASOM v7 are presented.
ASOM offers several highly interactive real-time synthesis features like point syntheses and position syntheses (2 and 3 conditions) for one-bar, four-bar and six-bar mechanisms, slider-crank systems and also for combinations of these types of mechanisms and linkages. This tutorial focuses on two synthesis types to show the possibilities for working interactively while creating a kinematic system (or even while modifying it retroactively) to suit your needs and constraints.
